You may notice that most of the songs on this page were in some way written by Gorlan of the Red Lands. He is both a Fatguy and a rather prolific songwriter. We are glad to have a Fatguy that can also write.

Obese (by Lord Gorlan and Lady Maeve)
(To the tune of "Moose" or "Abuse")

One evening when I passed a fire burning bright
I felt a large rumble that gave me a fright
The Fat Guys were singing and dancing around
The pounding was actually shaking the ground

(chorus)
O-bese O-bese, they are O-bese
just watch and you'll see their waist lines increase
They live large and battle and revel and feast
They call them the fat guys and they are obese

At the Fat Guys encampment I was quite aghast
Sweat pant and baseball caps wern't in the past
they ignored me and everything I had to say
That's life when there's Fat guys in the SCA

(chorus)

For ladies, the Fat guys can be a surprise
They'll provide all the courtesies born low or high
And lot's of fine humor to bring you a smile
They may have large bellies, but MAN they have style

(chorus)

For gentles ther's also good reason to cheer
No discussions of politics to sour the ear
Just drinking and singing be you peasant or peer
But the best thing of all is they always have beer

(chorus)

Even though they've been drinking and singing all night
Come morning, they're armored an ready to fight
Whether fighting on bridges, in barges or towns
Just show them a shield wall and they'll mow it down

(chorus)

The Fat guys are easy to see on the field
A gold mug on green with handle under the shield
There is one more feature that scares me profound
If there's foam on the mug it means they have a crown

(chorus)

Three Drunken Fat Guys
(by Gorlan of the Red lands)
To the tune of Three Drunken Maidens)

There were three drunken fat guys
Who attended court one night
They'd been at it several hours
They were really a sight
They brought with them
All kinds of beer
From bock to guinness stout
They also brought a keg of ale
To ensure they'd not run out

The room was called to order
As the King and Queen came in
On legs no longer steady
They stood and bowed and then
When given leave, they sat back down
While drinking in the back
Since standing up was such hard work
Their mugs they did attack

Then in came two more Fat Guys
Who joined them in the rear
They didn't come empty handed
they brought a case of beer
As court progressed the beer ran out
And they had to switch to ale
The herald was nervous,
you could tell
But then the herald started smiling
As the Queen whispered in her ear
He then called out for Michael
Their leader to appear
They said that he was courteous
And chivalrous and more
When they made him a Queen's companion
All jaws just hit the floor

One thought came to each Fat Guy
"Michael, Say it isn't so"
All had to drink down more ale
To cushion off the blow
By the end of court, The ale was gone
And they were on the floor
But since they were all Fat Guys
We rolled them out the door

Thumper
(By Gorlan of the Red Lands)
(To the tune of "Windy")

What is that meapon smashing my helmet
So crumpled that I can no longer see
My once sturdy shield is now in two pieces
Friedrich is using Thumper

(Chorus)
A two handed war hammer
Thumpers a real head slammer
I'll you in all candor
When it comes down
You're in the ground

Just look at Friedrich there in the melee
Pounding on everybody he meets
Soon there're all going to be six feet under
Friedrich is using thumper

(Chorus)

The list field is full of bodies embedded
Into the ground by two feet or more
Just like tent pegs into a grape pounded
Friedrich is using thumper

(Chorus)

Helmut's Home Brew
(By Gorlan of the Red Lands)
(To the tun of The Teddy Bear's Picnic)

If you go into the Fat Guy's camp
Take warning and be advised
If Helmut passes a bottle around
You're in for a Large surprise
He makes is brew with unusual things
Just to see the reaction it brings
And that's the danger of sampling
Helmut's Home Brew

Just take a swig og Helmut's Home Brew
And your stomach will be aglow
The flavor is strange and what he puts in
You really don't want to know
From Cinnamon clove and Chocolate cream
To Baloney Schnapps, it's really obscene
And that's the danger of sampling
Helmut's Home Brew

It's a powerful brew and if i were you
I'd really would listen up
The side effects can be much, much more
Than ending up in your cup
All of the bottles do clearly explain
Too much will make you like Mike Aquitain
And that's the danger of sampling
Helmut's Home Brew

Cookie Wars
(By Gorlan of the Red Lands)

There’s a Barony in Drachenwald
Knight’s Crossing it is called
And there they hold the Cookie Wars
Enjoyed by one and all.
Even though most of the battles
Are fought in the sun’s light
The final battle begins after dark
and continues throughout the night

Chorus
Take a cookie in your left hand
Take a cookie in your right.
Munch Left,
Munch Right,
Wash it down with a beer
Repeat throughout the night.
If one cookie is uneaten
When the sun comes up once more
Then although we ate and drank all night
We’ll have lost the cookie war.

There’s field battles a plenty
And woods and towns and more.
Every fighter is sure to get their fill
of bashing heads and swords.
But when the armor comes off
there is still one fight to fight
The final battle begins after dark
And continues throughout the night.

(Chorus)

Come morning the ground is covered
with a hundred empty beers
And the broken bodies of cookies
tell of a battle without peer.
Before we leave it’s cleaned up
not a crumb left on the floor.
Then we’ll be back again next year
for another Cookie War.

Oh Knocker Brot
(By Gorlan of the Red Lands)
(To the Tune of Oh Christmas Tree)

Oh Knocker Brot
Oh Knocker Brot
One side of you is holey
Oh knocker Brot
Oh knocker Brot
The other side is Flat
In Nordmark there’s great pondering
On which side gets the buttering
In May they fight
To find who’s right
The holey or flat siders.

Oh Knocker Brot
Oh Knocker Brot
With pomp and celebration
Oh Knocker Brot
Oh Knocker Brot
You split the Nordmark Nation

It’s what a fighters looking for
This nobel reason for a war
We’ll drink all night
All day we’ll fight
As holey or flat siders.

The Codpiece
(By Gorlan of the Red Lands)
(To the Tune of Greesleeves)

If you’ve never worn a codpiece before
It is a strange sensation
When you traverse across the field
It makes obscene gyrations

Chorus
A Cod-piece can fool them all
Make them think you’re large
Even if you’re small
Just be sure you don’t fool yourself
For it’s still just imagination

You have to be careful in a crowd
Each step made with hesitation
For a careless bump to another’s rump
May result in penetration

(Chorus)

And to be sure it works like a lure
And will raise a wench’s expectations
But have a care you have something there
Or the night will end in frustration
(Chorus)

They can be made of silk or be made of steel
You can paint them with illuminations
You can even use an old drinking horn
And gain the blue feather’s admiration

(Chorus)

There are many reasons to put one on
It really needs no explanation
But the best of all, It will still stand tall
Even if yours is on a vacation.

(Chorus)

They can be at rest or in full salute
In any desired configuration
But the best to date was a castle gate
The drawbridge got a standing ovation
Or
The drawbridge caused quite a sensation

(Chorus)

Ballad of Blackleaf
(by Gorlan of the Red Lands)
(To the tune of "Mmm Mmm Mmm Mmm" by the Crash Test Dummies)

Once there was a Fat - Guy
Got into a Tournament just to bash some heads in
When it all was o-ver
They -
Put -
A pointy hat on his bald head
He didn’t realize till that mo-ment
It was the viceroy Tour-ney

Beer, Beer, Beer, Beer
Beer, Beer, Beer, Beer, Beer

Beer, Beer, Beer, Beer
Beer, Beer, Beer, Beer, Beer

Now he was a Vice-Roy
Had to act respectable, spend his time at politics
No - Beer - with other Fat - Guys
At Court -
He -
Had to sit in the front row
But what really got him up-set
He had to do it So-ber

No Beer, No Beer, No Beer, No Beer, No Beer

No Beer, No Beer, No Beer, No Beer, No Beer

Heed well - the tale of Black-leaf
Never win in tournaments when pointy hats are giv-en
No Beer - in court with Fat Guys
If you -
Do -
There is one small compensation.
On your Fat Guy Ta-bard
You get to put some Foam - On

Foamy Beer, Foamy Beer, Foamy Beer, Foamy Beer, Foamy Beer

Foamy Beer, Foamy Beer, Foamy Beer, Foamy Beer, Foamy Beer

A Squire’s First Lesson on Courtesy
(By Gorlan of the Red Lands)
(To the Tune of Good King Wenceslas)

The care and feeding of wenches
Is a noble art so fair -o
Always see she has a seat
By giving up your chair-o
Never let her carry loads
See that her gear’s transported
And if she’s called before the crown
Ensure that she’s escorted.

Listen to her every word
Give her your full attention
Always praise the garb she wears
Her beauty you should mention
Be sure to rub her shoulders fair
Till tension has receded
And if invited do her back
Leave it nice and kneaded

A wench should not be left alone
She should be well attended
Make sure her cup is ever full
And she’ll think you are splendid
Have plenty of chocolate close hand
Her smiles it will sweeten
And if you follow all these steps
A cloven fruit may be eaten.

On My Throne (Blackleaf II)
(Tune: "On My Own" by Doobie bros)
By Gorlan of the Red Lands (1998)

I don't know what is was that possed me
I fought and won a crown once again
It must have been some kind of madness
For the next six months I'm on it again

Oh
On my throne
I've got no chance to get tight
On my throne
I've got to be nice and polite
On my throne
Everybodys got me in sight
All throughout the night.

I not sure what it was I expected
As Viceroy it just wasn't this bad
If you've never had to sit at peerage meetings
Count your blessings, cause I think I've been had

Oh
On my throne
I can find no place to run and hide
On my throne
From those who want me on their side.
On my throne
I sit and rest my royal hide
and pray for regicide.

I must admit at wars it seems worth it
You lead your kingdom out to the fight
But after all the battles are over
the politics continue all night

Oh
On my thrown
Ones with no life want all of my time
On my thrown
With a crown, it seems that I've lost mine
On my thrown
I wish I could decree it a crime
With beheading as the fine.

Thowing My Shots In All The Wrong Places
(Tune "Looking for love in all the wrong places")
By Gorlan of the Red Lands

I've spent a lifetime practicing blows
Head shots,
Legs shots,
moulenees's,
And butt wraps to Foes
When I'm on the pell, I'm hard to de-feat
I can deball a fly
As he buzzes by
But the marshalls all think I'm a creep

*** Cause I've been
*** Thowing my shots in all the wrong places
*** Into the knees and on the wrist braces
*** It isn't planned
*** Please understand
*** He shifted his feet
*** Yes I've been
*** Throwing my shots in all the wrong places
*** Just hit a cup
*** And you'll cause red faces
*** It was an accident
*** He lifted his leg.

I Truly intend to use only clean shots
helm slot
they block
and knock
my sword into their gorgett
Soon I'll be barred from fighting, I guess
Cause when I hit a cup
My Foes all throw up
And make the list field a mess

*** Cause I've been
*** Thowing my shots in all the wrong places
*** Into the knees and on the wrist braces
*** It isn't planned
*** Please understand
*** He shifted his feet
*** Yes I've been
*** Throwing my shots in all the wrong places
*** Just hit a cup
*** And you'll cause red faces
*** It was an accident
*** He lifted his leg.

Duke Elffin, Duchess Vanna
(To the tune of : "The Mickey Mouse Club Song" 1997)
(By: Lord Gorlan takes full responsibility for this song. There was never
anybody who gave him the Tune and the Idea of filking a song about Elffin
and Vanna saying "Please, Please, Don't tell him or he'll put on his armor
and catch me on the field and pound me into the ground like a tent peg
through a grape. Nope that never happened)

Who's the Earl that that was foolish enough to win the crown again?
D-U-KE-E-LFF-I-N is he.

And who was it at feast of fools shooting bread at ladies breasts?
D-U-KE-E-LFF-I-N- is he.

Duke Elffin!
Duchess Vanna!
Duke Elffin!
Duchess Vanna!

Together they've ruled twice in Drachen - Wald! - Wald! - Wald! - Wald!

Who is it in Drachenwald who wears the Oak Leaf Crowns?
E-L-F-F-I-N-and-V-A-N-N-A

Who is the Lady treated for shock when she heard that Elffin won?
D-U-C--H-E-SS--V-A-N-N-A

And who is the Lady foolish enough to let him do it again?
D-U-C--H-E-SS--V-A-N-N-A

Duchess Vanna!
Duke Elffin!
Duchess Vanna!
Duke Elffin!

They didn't learn their lesson the first - Time! - Time! - Time! - Time!.

With a IN-there, THE-There-, WEST-there, They've had twice the misery
E-L-FF-I-N-and-V-A-N-N-A

E-L-F
F - how the F should I know
F-I-N

White Feathers/Blue Feathers
(By Gorlan of he Red Lands 1997)
(To the Tune of "White boys/Black Boys " form "Hair")

White Feathers are so prudish
Want Events to be kept clean
They don't like their stories
Filthy or obscene.

White feathers, they like Disney
And that whole family values thing
White feathers still got for wenching,
But only with a ring.

So if you find you're in agreement
Put a white feather in your cap
And you'll hear no more tales of Village Idiots
Catching it in their Hats.

White Feathers White Feathers.

Blue Feathers are so Pretty
Their garb show impecable taste
But Blue Feathers don't go for women
Ladies sigh " What a Waste!".

Blue Feathers can look manly
With buldging muscles and firm behind
They wear the feather so that the ladies
Won't end up wasting time.

They throw great parties at Pensic
And I hear that the good times Roll
But be warned that to get inside
You'll have to pay their Toll.

Autocrat, Autocrat
( To the Tune of "Matchmaker" From Fiddler on the Roof)
By Gorlan of The Red Lands 1997

Scadian:
Autocrat, autocrat help me I'm lost
I can't find the site
the directions seem crossed
I've been driving in circles and can't find the signs
I'm starting to loose my mind

Scadian
Autocrat, Autocrat now that I'm here
where is the troll
Where goes my gear
I made no reservations, please find me a seat
Here is the list of the things I can't eat

Scadian:
I know you said that pets were not welcome
But I had no one to look after my Zoo
And now I can find no place to walk them
IS THERE SOMETHING THAT YOU CAN DO!!!!!

Scadian:
AutoCrat, AutoCrat you know that I'm
A tollerant lord
understanding and kind
But there's Fat Guys with beer and it's very unfair
They won't let me talk politics there.

Autocrat:
Oh Feastocrat, I Found You
The people need some food
Their chewing on the Tables
and in an ugly mood.
But it will start soon
I hope soon
Right!
Right!
On! No! the Main Course Just burned, Not an edible piece in sight
We'd better call out for Pizza or Chichen Delight!

Autocrat:
Oh marshall I found you!
When can the lists begin?
The Populous is bored
And the queen is guzzeling Gin
But it will start soon
I Hope Soon
Right!
Right!
Oh! No! it's Started raining, with no end in sight
As soon as it gets dryer, we'll start the fight.

Scenaschal:
Did you think it would go easy, and
there would be friends to make
With No parking
No Showers
No usable toilets
Be gald You're not roasting on a stake!!!!

Autocrat:
Senaschal, Senaschal I'm telling you I'm
At the end of my rope
and loosing my mind
Not that it's over, a lesson I've learned
When your'e the AutoCrat you're going to get burned
Its not longer my job
I've taken my turn
If you need help
Find somebody else
Don't ever let me volunteer again!!!

6 Beer Court In Drachenwald
( Loosely To the Tune of Beach boys "Little Honda" (1st gear)/ Surfin City)
By Gorlan of the Red Lands 1998

I attended a 6 beer court in Drachenwald one night
(6 beer court in Drachenwald)
It seemed to go forever and looked like it had no end in site
(6 beer court in Drachenwald)
But I was sitting with the Fat Guys and they knew just what to do
(6 beer court in Drachenwald)
They were well stocked with provisions and several cases of Brew
(6 beer court in Drachenwald)

*** 1st beer goes down light
*** 2nd beer is just right
*** 3rd beer you're feelin tight
*** at a long court
*** 4th beer you can't see
*** 5th beer find a tree
*** 6th beer you just pee
*** at a long court

They started out with thanks to the autocrat for all that was done
(6 beer court in Drachenwald)
And thanks to the marshals for a tourney that was well run
(6 beer court in Drachenwald)
The water bearers and chiurgens got called up too
(6 beer court in Drachenwald)
And before I knew it, my first beer was all through
(6 beer court in Drachenwald)

***chorus

Some folks presented gifts to butter up the King and queen
(6 beer court in Drachenwald)
The groveling was awful, I sure you know just what I mean
(6 beer court in Drachenwald)
Then they presented AOAs to create some Lord and Ladies too
(6 beer court in Drachenwald)
And again before I knew it my second beer was through
(6 beer court in Drachenwald)

***chorus

They gave a silver guard to a man who could swing a stick
(6 beer court in Drachenwald)
And linquest ring went to a gentil who's tounge was slick
(6 beer court in Drachenwald)
And to some artisans they presented a panache or two
(6 beer court in Drachenwald)
and sure enough my third beer was also through
(6 beer court in Drachenwald)

***chorus

Next came a grant of arms, to make a Right, Honorable Lord
(6 beer court in Drachenwald)
You could that the populous was starting to get very Bored.
(6 beer court in Drachenwald)
A black guard fell asleep and almost got the king with his spear
(6 beer court in Drachenwald)
when all got back to normal I finished off my 4th beer.
(6 beer court in Drachenwald)

*** chorus

They then called up a Lady and awarded her the Dragon's Steel
(6 Beer court in Drachenwald)
Because in swishy-pokey, she could bring all others to heel
(6 beer court in Drachenwald)
They inducted a new member into the Order of Albinon
(6 Beer court in Drachenwald)
And before I knew it, I found my 5th beer was gone.
(6 beer court in Drachenwald)

***chorus

Finally they announced that they would create some new peers
(6 beer court in Drachenwald)
I was starting to get worried, because the cooler was almost out of beers
(6 beer count in Drachenwald)
They made a Knight, and Laurel and a Pelican too.
(6 beer court in Drachenwald)
And when they closed court, I'd just finnished off my 6th brew.
(6 beer court in Drachenwald)

***chorus

If you live in Drachenwald there's something that you must do
(6 beer court in Drachenwald)
When attending court, be sure to stock plenty of brew
(6 beer court in Drachenwald)
Because even if you are well lit at the time that court begins
(6 beer court in Drachenwald)
If do not plan ahead, you'll be sober by the time it ends
(6 beer court in Drachenwald)

Martin the Mercenary
(To the Tune of "Puff the Magic Dagon)
(By Gorlan of the Red Lands - 1998)

*** Martin the Mercenary,
*** Was short, that is true
*** But if you watch him on the field
*** You'ld swear that he flew
*** All of his opponents
*** Die with a bewildered look
*** Now they know why peter pan
*** Was hated so by Hook.

Martin came to Nordmark
to the double wars
When he fought with sword and sheild
He slew them buy the score
Those that came to face him
Would end up in the grave
In melees all would shake with fear
When he swung his mighty glave

***chorus

Off the field, he is quite gentile
And the ladies love him so
He feeds them sweets and other treats
till they are all aglow
Always softly spoken
no one would he defame
He lives life large and truly shows
Just how to play the game.

***chorus

In tourneys when you face him,
He may seem any easy kill
But when he leaps and wacks your helm
you'ld better make out a will
Always fights with gusto
He'll kill you with a smile
The bodies mount around his feet
All gathered in a pile

Here I am In the Crown again
(Tune: Turn the Page)
By Gorlan of the Red Lands, 1999

I arrive at the tournament
My bodies feeling tense
I check in with the troll
And ask when lists commence
I've been doing for so many years
It don't make sense at all

*** But here I am
*** In the crown again
*** Here I am
*** Armed with shield and blade
*** Here I am
*** In the crown again
*** One more try
*** Turn the Page.

Sometimes the fighting's clean
Other times its bad
What happened to integrity?
The lack just makes me sad
The dream just keeps eroding
I try not to let it make me mad

***chorus

I can't control what others do
I only control me
I'll keep it clean on my part
And let my conscious be
But I hope for some peer pressure
From the Chivalry, this time

Ride Cormack Ride
(Tune of Ride captain Ride)
By Gorlan of the Red Lands, 1999

Cormack and his hoard sailed up
To the Magna Carta War
Took over the island
And Raised his flag upon the shore
The pirates let out rumors
Of a treasure chest
And challenged Lillies and Falcons
To find it on a quest

*** Ride Cormack Ride upon your pirate ship
*** To Nordmark, at Double Wars, where the fighting's thick
*** Ride Cormack ride upon your pirate ship
*** Your black hoard, will terrorize, Veborg mighty quick

They made up a treasure map
Broke it into three parts
Gave them to three fighters
Each with a yellow mark
To gain the pieces
You had to find and kill them all
The map led to the booty
Food, rum and all

***chorus

Their island was left unattended
And then the Fat Guys came
And Martin the Mercenary
Flew over without a plane.
Then Micheal Lead the Lillies
And the other Fat Guys found A piece of map.
They formed an alliance with other holders of scraps

***chorus

But no one found the treasure
Though one group had found the map
But it was written by Pirates
No One could read that Crap
So the Pirates kept their treasure
But they lost their flag
Captured by Michael of Aquitane
Who Used it for a Rag

***chorus

But I’m too busy to train you

Sometimes it’s hard to be squire
When your Knight can be such a Jerk
Just ignore his lack of life
Be glad you’re not his wife
And show the known world you can still play the Game

Everyone makes a mistake sometimes
And you must honor the vows you gave
No matter what he does
You must follow him because
After all, he’s the one whom you gave your vow.

*** Stand by your Knight
*** Forgive his lack of graces
*** Because you know your Place is
*** To stay by his side
*** Stand by your Knight
*** And keep your honor intact and with you
*** It is burden you must go through
*** Though a Knight, he’s still just a man

Some squires have Knights that walk on water
While your Knight could drown in a wading pool
Still you must listen to him
And do your best to forgive him
It’s not his fault he was born a fool

Someday your ordeal will be over
And you will have a white belt too
With your Knight’s lack of tact
He’s shown you how NOT to act
Just do the opposite of what he would do
It will make a better Knight of you

Head Shot
Tune: Bus Stop
By Gorlan of the Red Lands

Head shot
Ears pop
Eyes Cross
My Foe drops
At war in Estrella

Rib shot
Breath stops
My foe
Ker-plops
At war in Estrella

All this summer
I’ve been training
In wind and rain or shine
This year when I fight at Estrella
The field it will be mine.

All the other fighters think I must be quite insane
I’m really, not, its just how I play the game
Beserker fighting, in a shield wall
Thrills me like little else
It’s Target rich
Where I can really slay and maim.

Arrows
Pike men
Behind
Shield men
At War in Estellla

Knights
And Squires
My Sword
Retires
At War in Estella

All this summer
I’ve been training
In wind and rain or shine
This year when I fight at Estrella
The field it will be mine.

Fat Guy Limerick Chorus
By Gorlan of the Red Lands, 1999
(I usually use a Limerick Book and select at Random. Continue until
somebody provides a Beer Then Sing the Last Verse)

Chorus:

Oyez, Oyez
The Fat Guys drank all the beer up
So here comes another verse
That’s worse than the other Verse
Give us more beer and we’ll shut up.

Last Verse
Oyez, Oyez
The Fat Guys Drank all our Beer up
There may another verse
That’s worse than the other Verse
But Someone gave us more beer, so we’ll shut up.

The Butter Goes on the Holey Side
(Tune: Leaving on a Jet Plane)
By Gorlan of the Red Lands, 1999

Oh my Dragon’s packed
I’m ready to go
If the beast can move,
I’ll hit the road
There's beer and war and campfires waiting for me.
It's been one whole year since the double war.
I really can not wait anymore
It's time to show the Flatsiders they are wrong

*** So I’ll Kill you just to prove my point
*** No need to get out of joint
*** But you got to learn to butter the right side
*** The Butter goes on the Holey Side
*** In your heart you know that I am right
*** Oh brother plug that hole.

I can’t understand
Why you don’t see
The Flat Side is mediocrity
The Holes have curves and bumps and variety
You must admit, Holes are much more fun
Especially when the fighting’s done
If you don’t wise up, I’ll make your helmet ring

***chorus

So one more time
Don’t make me kill you
Plugging holes is what will thrill you
Just go ahead - Butter the holey side
We can overlook that fact
You’ve wasted years buttering the flat
It’s time you came over to the Holey Side

***chorus

I Don’t Know How to Kill Him
Tune: I don’t know how to love him, from JC Superstar)
By Gorlan of the Red Lands, 1999

I don’t know how to kill him
What to do, how to slay him
He’s a man
He’s just a man
And I’ve killed so many men before
In very many ways
He’s just one more

Don’t you think its rather funny
I should be in this position
I’m the one
Who’s always been
So fast, and not light
Everybody’s Knight
Blocking every blow
He scares me so

Should I molene?
Should I charge and shout?
Should I swing low, then high?
Try to fake him out?
He blocks every shot I’ve ever learned
Womps me every bout

Yet when I try my combos
He just blocks and then kills me
I always loose
Can’t help but loose
My Helmet rings
My legs collapse
My shield cant stop his blows
He kills me so
How I don’t know
He Kills me So

Three Authenticity Mavens
Tune: You’re A Liar or Three Old Whores
By Gorlan of the Red Lands, 1999

Three Authenticity mavens from Drachenwald
Were sipping some home made wine
When one turns to the other two
And say yours are less period than mine

*** So put away those pop cans
*** Put your drinks in a period Glass
*** The Period Police are on Duty
*** They’re a Royal pain in the *ss.

You’re a liar said the second Maven
I’m as period as can be
I hand stitch all the garb I wear
No sewing machines for me

***chorus

You’re a Liar said the third Maven
I more period than you
I raise my own sheep to get my wool
No store bought cloth will I use

***chorus

You’re a Liar says the first Maven
I got you beat hands down
I wear nothing but woad from head to toe
Even when I go to Town

***chorus

Then the three mavens started fighting
But that’s good news don’t you see
As long they fight with each other
They won’t be bother you or me

The SCA Seneschal Blues
(Tune: Heartbreak Hotel)
By Gorlan of the Red Lands, based on a one-liner from Lord Aestan.

No one will come to the meetings
I’ve got to do all the work
All officer reports are overdue
And I’m feeling like a jerk

*** I got the seneschal blues
*** The SCA seneschal blues
*** I think I’ve paid more than my dues
*** With those seneschal blues

My Marshall just got deployed
My herald has lost her voice
My chatelaine is Skin Head
But he was our only choice
***chorus

I caught my Exchequer Gambling
With the local group funds
He said it was a sure thing
And he’s getting 20 to 1

***chorus

We tried to host and event
Put it in the Dragon’s Tale
Then two days before the Autocrat
Was busted and sent to Jail

***chorus

At night I get these phone calls
>From members who have no life
I spend so much time putting fires out
That I never see my wife

***chorus

I think that I’ve had enough
This job is getting to me
I’ve been doing the job for two whole months
I’ll give it to my Deputy

*** Then he’ll have those SCA seneschal Blues
*** Those SCA seneschal Blues
*** Someone else will pay the Dues
*** And get those SCA Seneschal Blues

I’m Too Sexy For My Armor
Tune I’m too sexy for my …
By Gorlan of the Red Lands, based upon a comment by Lord Connor,1999

I’m too sexy for My Armor
Too sexy for Armor
I’m manly down to the core
I’m too sexy for my sword
Too sexy for my sword
I’m an excep-tio-nal Lord

I’m a Fighter,
If you know what I mean
And I do my stuff in the Melee
In the melee
Where I main and slay
I kill every one in the Melee

I’m too sexy for My Garb
Too sexy for my Garb
My codpiece has barbs
I’m too Sexy for this Feast
Too Sexy for this feast
Not plain in the least

Yes I am stud-ly
And Manly Man
You can tell that I’m a Heavy Fighter
A Heavy Fighter
I drive Maidens insane
When I strut around in my armor

I’m too Sexy for this Court
Too Sexy for this Court
They’re just not my Sort
I’m Too Sexy for this Kingdom
Too sexy for this Kingdom
I’m sexier than-any-one.

Yes I am Macho
Just dripping testosterone
Whenever I’m in my Armor
A heavy fighter
Who fears no other foe
When I’m dressed in my Armor.

I too Sexy for This song
Too sexy for this song
I’ve been singing too long
I too Sexy for This song
Too sexy for this song
I’ve been singing too long
